Great video for me to set mine up in France 🇫🇷 I'm looking for instructions to set up brand new fire, how to put in a wick? Bought the fire last winter tee didn't use it, now lost instructions, cannot even find a makers name for this exact fire? A yo e know it please?
Hi yes the make is Stover model number R 222 C. If you already have a wick in it then fill up the container and leave it for 30 minutes before starting to allow the wick to absorb the parafin. It also has batteries at the back. Turn the front dial to raise the wick then push the right hand button to start. Left hand button to turn off. Anymore info you need just ask.
Hello i have one heater similar to yours ( zibro R18 E i am having problems with it giving of an odour, also it doesn't seem to be giving of much heat, have you had any issues. Thanks
Hi Martin, I would say your wick is not hot enough to burn off the fuel properly. Let it run completely dry and then use pliers to crack the hard parts of the wick. It should be soft and fluffy. Hope that helps, it worked for me
Thanks Robert, it's a Type F wick according to the manual. I did a google search and also found the number RCA-200. Taking my wick out this weekend so I'll measure it for you and then I'm going to order another one
Nice job thanks for sharing
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it, hope you have a warm winter!
I have the exact same problem. Thank you for the solution.
Hi Tony, glad my video could help. I have another video showing the wick replacement on this heater in case you need it one day. Keep warm

how much do i put inn pease? do i fill the container or just half fill it with fule ?
need to pay attention to the oil gauge！！
The Zibro manual states to store the fuel container full, this leaves no room for the more dangerous fuel vapour. Much the same with aircraft.
Muy clara explicación! Gracias por compartir!
Me alegra que lo hayas disfrutado, gracias por mirar.😀
wat size wick does this heater take
Thanks Robert, it's a Type F wick according to the manual. I did a google search and also found the number RCA-200. Taking my wick out this weekend so I'll measure it for you and then I'm going to order another one
Thankyou
Interesting!!!
Thanks TZ, glad you enjoyed it!
This video looks like it was made 15+ years ago. Either way good video.
and here I was thinking that I was a master videographer😀Glad you enjoyed the video
just get a wick cleaner r take the wick out and clean it and dont let the wick carbon up like that check it befor you light it
Dry burning the wick will clean off the carbon, but my wick had lost at least 5 mm in height, so I needed a new one
You don’t need to remove body to do dry burn
yes, you're correct, just did it for the video otherwise my hands get in the camera's way
